Set in Dhaka, Extraction follows Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), a fearless black market mercenary, through the most deadly extraction of his career when he's enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned Indian drug lord.

After its release on April 24, the film lost its top position in the US streaming charts to teen romantic comedy series Never Have I Ever on Saturday.
